Iterate through the same methods inside objects of the same class

To iterate through the methods inside objects of the same class in C#, you can use reflection to retrieve the methods and then loop through them. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
Assuming you have a class named MyClass
with multiple methods, and you want to iterate through those methods in instances of the class:
csharpusing System;
using System.Reflection;
public class MyClass
{
public void Method1()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method1 called");
}
public void Method2()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method2 called");
}
public void Method3()
{
Console.WriteLine("Method3 called");
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MyClass obj = new MyClass();
// Get the type of the class
Type type = obj.GetType();
// Get all methods of the class
MethodInfo[] methods = type.GetMethods();
// Loop through the methods and call them
foreach (MethodInfo method in methods)
{
// Exclude methods inherited from Object class
if (method.DeclaringType == type)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Calling method: {method.Name}");
method.Invoke(obj, null);
}
}
}
}
In this example:
- The
MyClass
class defines several methods (Method1
,Method2
,Method3
). - In the
Main
method, an instance ofMyClass
is created. - Using reflection, the methods of the class are retrieved using
type.GetMethods()
. - The loop iterates through the methods and calls each one using
method.Invoke(obj, null)
.
Keep in mind that using reflection can impact performance and is often used for dynamic scenarios. If you have control over the design of your application, it's generally better to design your code to avoid the need for reflection whenever possible.
